211 Ambrosia Cartel: Part 18 (1/2)

The forest would be dark if not for the night vision goggles. Lynn and Patrick searched for the weapon container that was dropped somewhere in the region. The container emitted signal that could be traced back by the PDA that they currently held. The signal would bounce at the PDA and produced a pipping noise based on the distance to the said container.

”PIP...…. PIP....”

The container seemed to be very far from the place where they were landing. The parachute had been burned automatically by the systems that were integrated into the parachute itself. It didn't make any fire, it would just disintegrate the parachute.

Patrick looked at the nearby forest. It seemed to be filled with animals with many different variations. The place seemed to be untouched by humans since most of the animals there were either rare or carnivorous. For example, Patrick landed on top of a panther. Luckily, he managed to shot his head first before the panther realized his existence.

”Stay vigilant.” Lynn walked to the weapon container.

Patrick: ”Charlie Papa to HQ. We have landed safely at Panama forest. There will be some delay to the intended schedule. Please tell the incoming team to slow their aircrafts down.”

Nathan: ”This is HQ. Copy that Charlie Papa.”

The weapon container still couldn't be found even after they arrived at the designated location. There were two posibbilites. It could be either the distress pulser wasn't working or the container had gone missing. However, they got their answer once they looked up to the trees above them. The container was stuck on the branches of the said tree.

”Hmm, it looks like one of us have to climb that tree. Lynn?” Patrick offered.

Lynn just nodded and put the backpack that she carried to the ground. She started climbing that tree after Patrick threw a rope to the top of the tree. It would make sure that she didn't fall off if she suddenly lost her grip to the tree. Lynn climbed that tree faster than Patrilck thought. She reached the top of the tree and grabbed her trusty combat machete.

The machete would help her in cutting the branches of the tree and made sure that the container fell to the ground safely. Well, the container could sustain the damage that would be given once it fell down from the tree. However, Patrick was unsure whether the things that were inside of the container would be fine once it hit the ground.

Lynn cut those tree branches and ants started falling to the ground below. Patrick noticed it since he had to kill those ants with his hands and those ants were massive. However, his clothes could resist those ants since it was reinforced. However, it was very bad for Patrick since he disliked those ants.

She broke the large branch and that container fell to the ground with a big force that it made quite a wind once it landed on the ground. Lynn climbed down from that said tree and she walked to that container. Patrick picked up her backpack and gave it back to her. Patrick opened that weapon container that contained their heavy weaponry.

The content of that container was the railgun and some ammunitions for that railgun. However, the focus of that weapon container wasn't on the weapon itself. The content of that container was actually supplies that could be used by both of them. The extra contents were the builder tool that looked like a small suitcase.

”Lynn, are we on the location where we can build our Forward Operational Base?” Patrick asked.

”Yeah, go ahead,” Lynn said.

Patrick put the suitcase that he retrieved from the container and faced it to the south direction. He opened that suitcase and there was a screen inside of that suitcase. The tool itself was called the terraformer. It would turn any land into something that the user wanted to build as long as there wasn't any structure that had similarities to the structure that would be built.

In short, it couldn't overlap another facility so it couldn't be used on a place that had been built by the HSDC before. In that case, the only way to establish a new structure was by using the builder tools that the PDA had. Patrick scrolled through many menus that were available in that tool. One of them was air force operational base.

Patrick chose that option and a warning appeared on the menu of that tool.

[WARNING! ACCEPTING WILL REMOVE ALL BUILDINGS OR STRUCTURE IN VICINITY! PROCEED?]
